The Crimson Tide's haul of 27 signees is No. 1 no matter where you look. Though the various recruiting websites have yet to declare it over, we can safely say that Alabama's lead appears insurmountable.

Alabama coach Nick Saban will tell us how he feels about it at 4 p.m.

1:22 p.m.: Alabama has received National Letters of Intent from two five-star recruits to close its day.

Linebacker Christian Miller and running back Bo Scarbrough have sent their paperwork to the proper place and the Crimson Tide, on its official Twitter account, wrote that no more NLIs will be taken. The grand total is 27.

Quite a day, huh?

12:14 a.m.: Tide receiver Amari Cooper live on ESPNU with Tom Rinaldi says 5-star recruits should stay level-headed once they arrive on campus.

12:09 p.m.: Alabama announces it received the highly anticipated NLI from Rashaan Evans. He's the 25th member of the class.

Each player placed their name on Alabama's big board on the school's live stream.

6:40 a.m.: We're waiting for Alabama's live coverage of National Signing Day to open for business at 7 a.m., but the conversation is ongoing in the comments section.

6:15 a.m.: For Alabama, a third consecutive BCS National Championship wasn't in the cards.

But yet another recruiting national championship? As National Signing Day gets underway, that's essentially a foregone conclusion.

The faxed signatures have yet to arrive, but the projections are clear: Barring something completely unexpected, Alabama will finish with the nation's No. 1-ranked class on all four major recruiting websites (247Sports, Scout, Rivals, ESPN).

We won't bother asking if this sort of thing gets old.

This post will be your one-stop shop for EVERYTHING Alabama-related throughout National Signing Day. Any time there's a commitment, we'll acknowledge it in real-time right here. The updated status of any player who simply had an Alabama hat on the table will also find its way into this post.

Don't let the byline fool you. It will be more than a one-man operation, as Andrew Gribble, Michael Casagrande, Matt Scalici and more will be contributing in the body of the post and in the comments section.
